Thanks for all of the helpful feedback. i,Too am trying to get to the bottom of who should be credited witht this quote:

Only after the last tree has been cut down,
only after the last river has been poisoned,
only after the last fish has been caught,
only then will you realize that money cannot be eaten

When iFirst seen it with credits to White Cloud, immediately iThought, iDon't think so! iThought it sounded more like Chief Seattle, or someone similar, definitely not someone iHad never heard of such as White Cloud! ...but after reading all of the above entries, iAm still unsure. Some of the sources iFound call it Cree philosophy and some credit it to White Cloud, who was definitely not Cree! What gives?

...lovingly, tammy

...so hmmm, iAm back to square one, trying to accurately pinpoint who the quote really belongs to!
